The Vols have had some great names lately. A couple of my favorites: Jauan Jennings Squirrel White (real name Marquarius Malik “Squirrel” White) Curt Maggitt Deanthoine Summerhill Jennings is a favorite of mine because there's a perfect example of what bolding and italicizing a name sounds like. Jauan Jennings! ........ Jauan Jennings!

My top two for that are: Anyone who watched the Phillies in the 90's will read these next words in a very specific cadence, due to the greatest announcer in history. Mickey Morandini I also like that the Eagles have a lot of nominative determinism on the team: Kenneth Gainwell - running Back D'Andre Swift - running back Darius Slay - Corner Josh Sweat - DE (a bit of a stretch I know) Fletcher Cox - DT (He was sued because he banged some dude's wife)

That reminds me -- I'm pretty impressed with MLB announcers' handling of Jazz Chisholm's name. If I were in their shoes I know I'd practice a whole bunch, but I still feel like I'd accidentally say "chaz jism" at least once. edit: AFewBricksShy posted:Fletcher Cox - DT (He was sued because he banged some dude's wife) I was unaware that this was a thing you could sue people for

Telluric Whistler posted:Amon-Ra Julian Heru J. St. Brown The St. Brown family is great for names. For those that don't know the story, dad was a pro bodybuilder named John Brown who felt his boring rear end name held him back. So when he had his kids he added the St. to their last name and gave them the fanciest, flashiest names.

I think the real litmus test of a good baseball player sports name is if the player is on the visiting team but the announcer can’t help but have fun saying it when they’re up to bat, rather than muttering the name as if they are just so upset that these bums are even around. OR if you can repeat the name incessantly like a mantra to the point of annoying everyone around you. Patrick Wisdom is one that I like a lot. Bismack Biyombo is very fun to say and also to sing
